Mob Lite
by IonSlaun
Mob Lite lets server owners change the spawn limit of each mob category and of individual entities while the server keeps running.
What it does
Spawn limits are set with commands, so changes take effect in real time without closing the launcher or restarting the server. The global limit can be adjusted, and each category, such as ambient, creature, monster, underground water or water ambient, can be given its own cap. Specific entity limits let a single mob type, for example axolotls, be tuned separately from its category.
Installation is the same on Fabric and Forge: the mod is placed in the mods folder on the server and on each player's client. It is built for both sides, and the server can run without any client installed. Files cover Minecraft 1.20 – 1.21.11 (19 release versions), and the mod is released under the MIT License, which does not make it open source. Development is ongoing, with updates for bug fixes and for new mechanics whenever changes are needed.
